Book Beginnings and Friday56
This is a new to me author.
The Secrets of Emberwild
About the book:
A gifted trainer in a time women are not allowed to race, Nora Fenton prefers horses to men. They're easier to handle, they're more reliable, and they never tell her what to do. After her father's passing, Nora is determined to save her struggling horse farm, starting with entering her prize colt into the harness races at the 1905 Mississippi Fair. If she wins, she may have a chance at independence. But when a stranger arrives and starts asking disconcerting questions, she suspects he may have other motives than unseating her in the training job that is rightfully hers.
Silas Cavallero will do whatever it takes to solve the mystery of his father's death--even if it means training an unwieldy colt for Nora, who wants nothing more than to see him gone. But when mysterious accidents threaten their safety and circumstances shrouded in secrets begin unlocking clues to his past, Silas will have to decide if the truth is worth risking ruining everything for the feisty woman he's come to admire.

Book Beginnings
Freedom rushed through Nora Fenton's veins, erupting with each breath.
Friday 56
This was ridiculous. Nora picked her way across the yard, holding the lantern low so she could see where she stepped.
My thoughts so far
So far I am enjoying this one. If you have watched Heartland then you would also enjoy this story.

Both those teasers are descriptive in a good way. They invite me in and make me want to read more.

I loved Heartland! Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteCurrently watching the series Heartland, so enjoying this one.
DeleteSounds great!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend.
DeleteSecrets of Emberwild is coming up for me to read.
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from the creepy good book by Jaime Jo Wright, The Premonition at Withers Farm:
August 1910
When death came to visit, no one ever prepared tea and cookies.
Happy reading!
Read this one in September! Scary but good like all of Jaime's books.
DeleteI am currently reading Godmersham Park by Gill Hornby. It's pretty awesome!
ReplyDelete"Anne did not stay long at the party. She was still not in quite the right mood."
I hope you have a great weekend!
I do enjoy Heartland!! I hope you enjoy it, have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend.
DeleteI read this one recently, and the author was new to me as well! This week I featured Body of Evidence by Irene Hannon in my FLF post. http://gracetogrowblog.com/body-evidence-irene-hannon/
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
That one is up on my list to read soon as well.
DeleteI have this one on my tbr shelf. The cover is so gorgeous. I've been reading The Christmas Switch by Zoey Marie Jackson. The first line is: Chanel Houston tossed her keys in her purse and reached into the back seat of her sister's 2002 Honda Civic to grab one of the boxes of books. ~ Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying it.
